Sportsnet Shows Parody Alomar Plaque in Promo

During their telecast of the Toronto Blue Jays/Texas Rangers game last night Rogers Sportsnet aired the above promo graphic advertising a Roberto Alomar television special — something about this graphic jumped out at me instantly… that’s not Alomar’s plaque, in fact it’s a parody plaque created by Onion-esque Mets fans blog “The Apple“. (Those who have MLB TV can see this viewing the Home feed, Friday’s game, it appears right at the 2:00:00 mark)

While the words on the plaque aren’t legible in the screencap above it was clearly visible on my HD television during the game last night – below is a closeup of the plaque from the original graphic on “The Apple”

“???? 2002-2003*” “*Rumored to have played for Mets but no evidence exists”
